You're right, Houston is way to wet to DD CUPS. Not sure how you go from cups to vreds though!

The Bridge RE-11 and Yoko AD08 both offer good grip at the track while keeping you on the road when Houston decides to wash you away.

Wasn't quite from Cups to Vred's..I was only considering the cups bc there was a set for sale that were practically new for CHEAP..my car is a DD and the Vred's seemed like a great bang for the buck tire.
